The Mnisterialists expect Balfour will with
draw from his Irish Office Immediately after pas

Cheek Which Should Win a Bakery

Going up town the other evening on a Broad
way car a reporter stood on the front platform
enjoying fragrant Havana he had recently
fallen heir to. Several men stood beside him.
The car was crowded by gay throng return
ing from the theatre. Suddenly smooth faced,
rosy-cheeked young man remarked to his com
panion a huge fellow of Sullivan-lke build:
''By Jove, wish l had good cigar" The
other offered to get him one The first speaker
objected Il don't want to leave the car; am
in a hurry he said. The giant said he would
not have to leave the car, and before the candi-
date for smoke could object his friend said to
the driver:
SAY, old man, got any cigars in your
clotheS?" Nav" was the surly and laconc
answer of that astoni he'd individual
He then opened the door and addressed the
same question to the man sitting by it, and re-
ceived the same response. He closed the door
and looked rather discouraged. 1t was evident
that both were somewhat under the influence of
red-eye.
He of the red cheeks sighed sadly, Its no
use but this merely stimulated the big fellow,
who suddenly opened the door again and said
in the blandest and most persuasive of tones
Has any gentleman on this car a cigar that he
can spare?' The passengers appeared daZed at
his audacity. Some were for having him put
off the car, others shouted, Shut that door"
the ladies Uttered, but the queStioner stood in
the doorway wearing an inquiring smile and
sublimey unconscious of any improperly until
at last one of the passengers went through his
pockets, discovered some weeds, and holding out
a couple said, Yes, here are some and you've
earned them"
The big fellow took them with thanks and
turning to his friend said, Here's your cigar
my boy; you'll never get left while you travel
with me-"
